GREVY PLAYS PATRIOT.
HE CLAIMS TO STICK FOR THE
COED OF THE REPUBLIC.

Some of His Friends Endeavoring to
Persuade Him to Abstain from Re-
signing Altogether - Gen. Saussier
Announces that He is not Candidate
for the Presidency.
PARIS, Nov. 25.-President Grevy still
stubbornly resists the demands for his inn
mediate resignation. The press mani-
mously condemn the prolongation of the
crisis. The Pdin says President Grety will
not resign before he has placed the republic
in a safe position. 1t declares that the Or
leans Princes are very active, and warns
the Republicans to reflect on the course they
are taking.
A meeting will be held in the Belleville
quarter tonight to adopt measures, as the
call says, to conform to the situation.
A MEETING OF COMMUNISTS.
Councillor Valiant presided at revolu-
tionary meeting in Sale de Fevrier this
evening. Two thousand persons were pres.
ent. Deputies Camelinot and Basly deliv-
cred violent speeches, directed against M.
Ferry. They declared that it was necessary
for the people to march to the
Hotel de Vile to prevent King
Resolutions were adopted declaring that
the people called upon the popular
forces to organize themselves to venture
everything against exJortioners and trai-
tors. The meeting dispersed with cries of
'Vive La Commune" There was no dis
order.
LIE Paris says that NJ. Rouvier agreed to
read President Grevy's message only on
condition that the latter withdraw his ac-
pantanra of fbs, a4f pf thn Minicttty
M. Rouvier reproached the President for
accepting The Ministry's resignation before
the conversion operations had been con-
cluded.
WILSON SIGNED A LETTER.
1t is reported that, on M. Rouvier's ad-
vice to M. Grevy, M. Wilson actually signed
letter of resignation in order to avoid en-
dangering M. Grevy's position, but later
seeing that it would amount to an admission
of Nj. Wilson's guilt, the President and NJ.
Wilson agreed to cancel the letter.
Nj. Grevy's friend, Nader de Montjau, is
actively canvassing in behalf of the pro
posed resolution expressing confidence in
M. Grevy. Although the feeling against
M. Grevy has somewhat abated, it is thought
unlikely that his friends efforts will be sue
ceSsful.
LoCKRoYs EFFORTS.
NM. Lockroy and Granet Joined NJ
Montjau in advising NJ Grevy not to
resign. They tried TO persuade M. Grevy
that they were able to form a Cabinet, as
there were numerous friends in the
Chamber ready to shield him. The
Rouvier Cabinet, however, pointed out
that NM. Lockroy and Granet only wanted
-conjointly perhaps with Gen. Boulanger-
to form a Cabinet in order to seize the
direction of Congress. M. Grevy thereupon
abandoned the idea of combination under
M. Lockroy.
SAUSSIER OUT OF THE RACE.
1t is stated that Gen. Saussier has asked
permission of the War Ministry to announce
in the newspapers his refusal to contest the
Presidency. Gen. Sausser's withdrawal
leaves only three candidates-M Floquet,
Ferry and Freycinet.

RAISED FROM THE DEAD.
A Supposed Corpse Gives Birth to a
Child in a Coffin.


AUGUSTA, GA, Nov. 25.-An extraordi-
nary occurrence is reliably reported from
Summerton, Clarendon county, South Caro-
lima. A colored girl II years old, who had
been i'll several days, apparently died lest
Wednesday. The body was properly pre-
pared and dressed for burial and placed in q
coffin The colored people of the neighbor-
hood held their customary noisy wake over
the corpse all through Wednesday night.
The funeral services were held in the coli
ored church Thursday afternoon, and the
body was to be inferred in a graveyard
about two miles away. When the cortege
had reached a point within 500 yards Of
the cemetery the pail bearers were scared
by a crying noise, somewhat resembling
the mewing of a cat, apparently emanating
from the coffin. The procession halted and
after considerable discussion it was resolved
that the coffin should be openea Upon
removing the lid it was found to the great
CONSERVATION of the funeral party that the
woman was alive, but unconscious, and
that newborn babe shared with her the
narrow bed Several of the pail bearers
and mourners were terror-stricken and fled

to the wants of the supposed dead
woman and her infant, and in short time
both were taken to neighboring house.

attention. At last accounts the mother
was doing well, there being every indication
of her complete recovery, while the infant

of Missions of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, met in the Office of the Sec
retary of the board at the publishing house
at 10 o'clock this morning, in response to a
call issued Nov. 9. The proceedings of the
meetings of the local members of the board
relative to the Treasurer, Rev. DR.. d. G..
Kelby, and his utteranceS regarding the
Emma Abbott episode at McKendree
church were harmonious, and after some
discussion the following paper was pre-
sented by DR.. Kelby and adopted;
To the members Of the Board of Missions:
Having been informed by brethren whom l
trust, that my supposed attitude toward the
theatres is in the way of my usefudess as
Missionary Treasurer of the Methodist Episcopal
church South, and that my published card is not
sufficiently explicit on this subject, now define
my position further. l am opposed to any at
tendance at theatres by members of our church,
and uphold our ministers in the correction of
this evil by public and private admonition,
and by patient and kind, but firm
administration of discipline. l regret and
as they may be construed to defend the inter
ruption of public worship on October 0, at
McKendree Church consider myself to have
said heretofore all contained in this paper, but
as it is thought that this statement is clearer
and more easily understood than the statement
Of the card, gladly write and sign this paper.

o'BRIEN's IMPRISONMENT.
Mr.. Balfour Says He Will Not be Treat
ed with Severity.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-A letter written by
Mr.. Balfour is published in which he refers
to the grotesque episode ''of Mr. O'Briens
clothes" He says Mr.. O'Brien is not treated
in Tullamore prison either with leniency or
severity. He has succeeded in sheltering
himself under the medical opinion that his
lungs are delicate and his hearts action
weak. Mr.. Balfour also says if Mr. O'Brien
refuses to wear the prison dress force will
not be applied to compel him. There is no
reason why he should not fulfill his term IN
prison, but he cannot be safely subjected to
the usual discipline.
MORLEY SPEAKS AT HULL.
LONDON, Nov 25.-John Morley, speak
ing at Hull tonight, said it was interesting
to see the Tories committing themselves to
the doctrine of protection. Would Mr.
Bright, he asked vote in support of a crown
duty on corn3 Turning to the Irish ques-
tion, he said that Lord Salisbury had COM
mitted a glaring indiscretion when he
taunted Irishmen with their brogue,
accused them of adopting robbery as
their creed, and spoke in contempt of their
representatives in Parliament. The Prime
Minister'S announcement that there would
he no extension of local self-government to
Ireland was a breach of solemn pledge
which had been given by all of his Minis
ters. Lord Salisbury might depend UPON it
that the Irish leaders would do their utmost
to oppose land purchase as a substitute for
home rule.
Michael Davitt, in speech at Carlisle,
tonight, declared that the Irish alone
could settle the land question with the land
lords. He hoped that support would be
withheld from any land-purchase scheme
proposed in England, even if suggested by
Mr. Gladstone himself

JONES NOT A PAUPER.
He Will Soon Return to Florida to
Run for Congress.


DETROIT, Nov. 25.-Within the past few
days dispatches have been sent from Detroit
to newspapers all over the country seriously
rejecting upon the condition, financial and
mental, of ex-United States Senator Charles
w. Jones, of Florida, who has resided in
Detroit continuously since March, 1885.
There is no doubt that the ex-Sena-
tors finances are not i'll as
good condition as when he was
in receipt of a salary from the United
States, but he is not in any sense a pauper,
nor is he a millionaire. Some few weeks
ago Mr.. Jones chose to leave his hotel and
become guest of Detective 2. O'Neil, Of
whose house he is still an inmate by invita-
tion. To-day a man named Dawson took
the liberty Of circulating subscription list
in aid of the ex-senator.
Mr.. JONES ISSUES A CARD.
This was the last straw, and tonight Mr..
Jones issued the following card, the first
expression regarding himself he has made
since coming to Detroit:
To the Editor of the Free Press: l see il
stated in an evening paper that an appeal is
being made to the public in my behalf. l have
thing said in the public press about me or my
family. now desire to say this, that l have
given no authority to any one to ask contribu-
tions of money for me, and that l am not an
applicant for public charity.
CHARLES W. JONES.
Mr.. Jones states that he purposes return
ing to Florida to live after he has settled up
his affairs in Detroit, and will be a candi-
date for reelection to Congress.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
Dun & Co. Report an Improvement in
Every Direction.

New York, Nov 25 R. G. Dun & Co. s
review of trade for the week says: In all
directions the business prospects are i'm
proving, although the situation nowhere
Justilies such speculative wildness as has ap-
peared i'll some branches. Money still goes
to the West, and more to the South, and
bankers anticipate some pressure as the
new year approaches. Exchanges are run
ming nearly s per cent above those
of the corresponding weeks last year,
and railroad earnings showing an
increase exceeding 10 per cent, with the
shipments from Chicago by rail 5000 tons
larger than for the same week last year,
indicate volume of traffic never sur
passed at this season, though the reaction
from the greater activity Of September
causes, in some branches, complaint of dull
ness.
MONEY FROM ABROAD.
A most important fact is that the invest
ment of foreign capital in this country still
continues In seven months not less than
Sl45,000,000 must have arrived from abroad,
which has gone far to support the continued
development Of railroads, mines and manu-
factures, and speculations in real estate
Nevertheless the effects of a partial loss of
crops begin to be felt. From most quarters
come complaints that collections are
slow and only fair, and though
rapid marketing of products has brought
relief at most Southern and some Western
points, at many others money is close and
rates high.
CHANGES IN PRICES.
Breadstuffs have advanced.
Pork has advanced 25c per barrel and
lard 10c. per 100 pounds, though hogs are
lower

burg, but shade firlner for No. = at Phila-
delphia The decline in British exports to
this country from 120, sos tons in September

Cotton goods are very firm.

Of the cotton crop are still disputed, but the
market has grown stronger in the belief
that the Southwestern forest fires will de
lay shipments.
